They used to have these things called "books", before they were all banned.

Pedestrians in Holland: I have to worry about getting hit by a Cyclist.
Cyclists in Holland: better get out of the way, fucker, because I WILL run you down.

Helicopter Egress Training they actually have you keep your seat belt(s) on until the cabin is filled with water, pressure equalized, AND door/window opened. The reason is, to push a door or window open you need a solid "foundation" and if you're unstrapped floating in water you may only push your body away.
A road vehicle has a smaller cabin and more hand/foot holds, but I thought it worth mentioning.

I guess those judges just wanted, Morehead.

YEEEEAAAHHH

Because digital advertising dollars has been in a bubble since click-through ads and for some reason nobody has noticed.

"Enshitification"...
Yes I seem to remember how enshitified everything became after the firing of weavers do to the invention of the Loom.
The fuck you think was gonna happen?
Seriously all this whinging online about AI is getting ridiculous.
Get a fucking hobby.

You sure are there, squirt.

You mean critical thinking?
As soon as it's assured Trump loses, and the subsequent cou de tat is quelled, you can all camp the White House front lawn and shake the fences, throw red paint, call old Biden an accessory to murder. Fill your boots.

But not before.

Balancing on the tightrope with hell yawning below, is hardly the time to consider changing your shoelaces.

You're thinking of "floose".

FOSS is an acronym for, "fellatio of sideways sucking". Popular since 1954 and even made reference to by Jim Carrey in the Academy Award winning motion picture, Dumb and Dumber.

Your failure was not getting the Sweet and Salty Peanut chewy granola bar. Damn good!

Guy probably won just for his name.
Was the campaign, "If you mess with Sam Houston, you have to pay the toll." Or something like that? Lol

Doom-scrolling inevitably leads to lemmynsfw, and though I've tried the top and left positions, I still can't quite reach.

Because that's exactly how you will get steamrolled. You're lucky there's people like us looking out for people like you.

CLONK CLONK

Photos don't convey intelligence, while speech does.

Maybe J.D. needs to be taken out behind the shed.

State's military uses tool to spy on other states!

How the turn tables

Lol yep. It's not what being taken, it's what's being fed. These peeps don't understand that.

Not a programmer.
I spent the odd hour a day for a year and half, googling VBA to make a multi-page report with pictures and such generate automatically after the import of a CSV file.
All so I could do 30 reports I was secretly backlogged on that would have taken me about 3 days to do manually.

If Celsius, then yes.
Oh, and if Fahrenheit, then maybe.
If Kelvin, lend me your DeLorean time machine.

..classic Johan.

Found at 7-11, combo ketchup/mustard blister pack that when you simply bend and squeeze together, ketchup and mustard come out evenly for your corn-dog and no mess for your fingers.

Well, if only one person does spend it on hookers and blow, it'll be the only headline...such is our news media.

The people with the most money spend it on hookers and blow. Probably underage, trafficked hookers. You know, like Trump did.

Not to be confused with, "Pirate Bae", the pirate dating site for those endowed with abundant doubloons.

Precisely why they need treatment for their psychosis

Then y'all Luddites can make a new luddite sub and post your complaints over there.
This is a technology sub.
In any world, you just can't stop progress, so complaints will be filed under "G", for garbage.
And the world will keep on spinning.

"They shine when used to augment the work of a human expert but they can't be trusted to perform...".

I'm sure someone wrote the same about the first looms.

A long time ago, Vulcans and Romulans were known as Bloods and Crips.

Yeah, I always understood 4chan-ers worked at the morgue, so probably copped lots of feels.

I got news for you. That's not only the future.

Right you are

There might be, somewhere.
But not at the end of that hyperlink.

There wasn't the opioid epidemic we now have when those episodes came out. Those drug companies making synthetic were just getting started.
And there's no reality. Patient comes in unconscious from an unknown malady and Stamo's character is like, "Chem 7, CBC, Fent lollipop!"

They learned from Israel.

...MOM! MOMMY! THE INTERNET STRANGERS ARE CALLING US OUT ON OUR BULLSHIT, HELP! MAKE THEM STOP!! I'M JUST GONNA HIDE HIDE HERE UNDER THESE RULES WE ONLY FOLLOW WHEN CONVENIENT.

Who the fuck is Jersey Mike's.
And why the fuck are they worth 8 billion?

AIs can be trained to detect AI generated images, so then the race is only whether the AI produced images get better faster than the detector can keep up or not.
More likely as the technology evolves AIs, like a human, will just train real-time-ish from video taken from it's camera eyeballs.
...and then, of course, it will KILL ALL HUMANS.
